In romanticism searches

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Last spring mum has brought Nike from Israel bedroom-slippers-sabots from almost weightless material, bright, phosphorescing colour. Nika has told, that such it is possible to get only in Israel. This summer everyone respecting Berlin shoe necessarily has these bedroom-slippers in assortment, though in their city landscape absolutely imperceptibly. In a landscape of the Norwegian camping it is a hit number one.

Gameln - a city krysok!

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

The city of Gameln is well-known for the legend about Krysolove. The legend is that. In 1284 Gameln have suddenly flooded crowds of mice and rats. Every day them became more and more. Rodents destroyed the foodstuffs, people, were not included into whose nearest plans strict diets (other canons of beauty were during those far times), have begun to worry.

Paris

Friday, May 4th, 2007

Fairly I admit, in the Louvre I was last time about five years ago. And that only because someone from friends has arrived, and I have gone there with them for the company. Tour d'Eiffel does not cause for a long time in me any positive emotions – if frankly the kind with Tour Montparnasse is much more interesting. Galerie Lafayette – mm … unless before Christmas when in show-windows the whole doll representations are played, and each of them – a small masterpiece. Cemeteries in general never involved me, no less than cathedrals. And at the pseudo-Greek restaurants exorbitant prices and disgustingly feed.

Couple of years ago islet has covered with a notorious tsunami, consequences from which are notable till now.

Diary of the Wife

Monday, January 15th, 2007

For quite some time now to me began to seem, that my life loses any value if at least its small slices do not remain in the written down form. Words have started to appear on turns of draught listings of scientific articles which I in a chronic mode write on work. At me it is a lot of turns, they never will come to an end, I never will manage to use up them. I have written my first diary almost one year ago, and it was called New York diary. The innocent whim has strongly become a habit, and here again something is written, and to name to me it it would be desirable so: «the Diary of the Wife». For me the best time to write is time of flight and therefore, the best place is the plane. In any other place I precisely will have doubts: «Instead of whether to be engaged in something more useful?» But the plane takes dispersal to fly up, on the next armchair at a window near to me the husband, and, thus, flies up the diary name is completely justified. Well, have departed!
